Charles Oliveira Defeats Eric Wisley Via Submission in Round 1

After a winless year in 2011, Charles Oliveira rebounded in his featherweight debut to defeat UFC newcomer Eric Wisley in the very first round with a calf slicer submission.

The road to the title is a lot shorter in the 145 pound weight class than at lightweight so the move was the right thing to do for the 22-year-old.

He holds a 15-2 record, including other submission victories over Efrain Escudero and Darren Elkins. If the UFC wants to push him into the title picture, he will have to face someone like Chan Sung-Jung or Jimy Hettes. If they want to get a better view on where he stands in the division, a fight versus Cub Swanson, who was victorious on the same card, could be next.

Evan Dunham Defeats Nik Lentz via TKO in Round 2

Lightweight fighter Evan Dunham got a TKO win over Nik Lentz in what was tonight's fight of the night. Both fighters earned a $65,000 bonus for their work, and Dunham left with a much-needed victory.

Dunham recently rebounded from two back-to-back losses, and this fight gave him a chance to win impressively. He did so, and earned a second-round TKO when the doctors stopped the fight in between rounds.

A fight versus Jacob Volkmann may be in store for the 30-year-old, and it's one that could produce the next best lightweight contender. The division isn't short in contenders, but it's exciting fighting styles that separate the ones who get noticed from the ones who don't. Dunham is definitely one to watch.

Mike Russow Defeats John Olav Einemo Via Unanimous Decision

Heavyweight Mike Russow earned a unanimous decision victory over John Olav Einemo in front of his hometown fans, and it has brought him to an undefeated 4-0 record in the UFC.

Many considered Einemo a legitimate threat to Russow on the ground, but the 35-year-old still took the fight to the ground when necessary and was able to control his opponent from on top.

With a 15-1 record overall, Russow has one of the more impressive records in the division. A fight versus the winner of the upcoming Stefan Struve and Dave Herman bout is a step in the right direction to making a run for the title.

Chris Weidman Defeats Demian Maia via Unanimous Decision

Chris Weidman had a battle before even stepping into the Octagon to face Demian Maia. It came in the form of his brutal weight cut, which saw him lose almost 50 pounds after taking the fight on 11 days notice.

Weidman was fortunate that his opponent wasn't in the best shape, either, and after three rounds, he walked away with a unanimous decision win.

The UFC can use Weidman to promote a new contender in the division, but this victory won't help him gain much attention in terms of excitement.

A fight versus the winner of Tim Boetsch and Yushin Okami would be a proper test after earning a win over a top 10 opponent. They can also match him up with Mark Munoz or Rousimar Palhares if they want to get a No. 1 contender lined up after Sonnen.

Rashad Evans Defeats Phil Davis via Unanimous Decision

Rashad Evans needed to earn a victory in any way, shape or form against Phil Davis in the main event tonight.

It was what he got after five rounds, and the 50-45 scorecards showed how dominant he was against his previously unbeaten opponent.

With the win, Evans is now set to face UFC light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones, who went 4-0 last year with wins over Mauricio Rua, Quinton Jackson, Lyoto Machida and Ryan Bader. That fight will take place at UFC 145 in April.
